Welcome to the Tropical Island Course! My name is Diogo Guerreiro and I’m going to be your instructor in this course. The TRISC is the result of more than 4 years of planning, testing, and refining a specific methodology that simplifies the learning process and gives you the instruments to leverage the full potential of Houdini!
I developed the Tropical Island Course to share with you every single tool and workflow that has been essential in my own process of learning Houdini and creating the art that I want to make.
The purpose of this course is very straight forward: to provide artists with practical knowledge, so they can access and understand all tools related to environment creation inside Houdini, so they will be free to translate their ideas into real, high standard projects.
How is the TRISC different?
You'll learn many tools that will help you
create the most diverse high-end Environments.
TRISC is a special course. We are a premium course with an accessible price.
We spent a lot of time optimizing our course so you don´t waste yours. Every recorded minute is valuable information. When we do a repetitive task, we choose different methods every time so you learn more ways of accomplishing tasks in Houdini. We record our classes in 4K, so you receive a very sharp and clear image. Also, we choose themes that will add a lot to your demo reel.
We create our courses with an obsession for quality and with purpose, so you will learn how to become a better CG artist while having a lot of fun.
What exactly is in this course?
The 22 lessons are distributed in 8 core modules that make up the backbone of the course and 2 bonus: The Redshift Ocean Plugin + Fog HDA.

Although, with the Apprentice version you can follow along most parts. To download Houdini Apprentice you can go here. To download Houdini Indie you can go here.
-
How long do I have to complete this course?In short, if you watch one module every single day (and practice the workflows), you can complete the course in 2 weeks. One of the key aspects of the methodology of the course is the ability to go at your own pace (everyone learns differently). So there is no rush and you can fit the course within your schedule. Because it is self-paced, the TRISC is also lifetime access so you can come back and revisit the lessons whenever you want to.
